During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Brooklyn Museum of Art
One of the nation's premier art institutions, the Brooklyn Museum of Art rocketed back into public consciousness in 1999 with the hugely controversial Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection, which drew international media attention and record crowds who came to see just what an artist -- and a few conservative politicians -- could make out of a little elephant dung.Indeed, the museum is best known for its consistently remarkable temporary exhibitions as well as its excellent permanent collection. The museum's grand beaux arts building, designed by McKim, Mead & White (1897), befits its outstanding holdings, most notably the Egyptian, Classical, and Ancient Middle Eastern collection of sculpture, wall reliefs, and mummies. The distinguished decorative arts collection includes 28 American period rooms from 1675 to 1928 (the extravagant Moorish-style smoking room from John D. Rockefeller's 54th St. mansion is my favorite). Other highlights are the African and Asian arts galleries, dozens of works by Rodin, a good costumes and textiles collection, and a diverse collection of both American and European painting and sculpture that includes works by Homer, O'Keeffe, Monet, Cézanne, and Degas. Look for more terrific exhibits on the 2004-05 calendar.

Washington Square Park
You'll be hard-pressed to find much "park" in this mainly concrete square -- a burial ground in the late 18th century -- but it's undeniably the focal point of Greenwich Village. Chess players, skateboarders, street musicians, New York University students, gay and straight couples, the occasional film crew, and not a few homeless people compete for attention throughout the day and most of the night. (If anyone issues a friendly challenge to play you in the ancient and complex Chinese game of Go, don't take them up on it -- you'll lose money.)In the 1830s, elegant Greek Revival town houses on Washington Square North, known as "The Row" (note especially nos. 21-26), attracted the elite. Stanford White designed Washington Arch (1891-92) to commemorate the centenary of George Washington's inauguration as first president. The arch was refurbished in 2004 and now features exterior lighting.

Statue of Liberty
For the millions who first came by ship to America in the last century -- either as privileged tourists or needy, hopeful immigrants -- Lady Liberty, standing in the Upper Bay, was their first glimpse of America. No monument so embodies the nation's, and the world's, notion of political freedom and economic potential. Even if you don't make it out to Liberty Island, you can get a spine-tingling glimpse from Battery Park, from the New Jersey side of the bay, or during a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry . It's always reassuring to see her torch lighting the way.Proposed by French statesman Edouard de Laboulaye as a gift from France to the United States, commemorating the two nations' friendship and joint notions of liberty, the statue was designed by sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi with the engineering help of Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel (who was responsible for the famed Paris tower) and unveiled on October 28, 1886. Touring tips: Ferries leave daily every half-hour to 45 minutes from 9am to about 3:30pm, with more frequent ferries in the morning and extended hours in summer. Try to go early on a weekday to avoid the crowds that swarm in the afternoon, on weekends, and on holidays.A stop at Ellis Island is included in the fare, but if you catch the last ferry, you can only visit the statue or Ellis Island, not both.Note that you can buy ferry tickets in advance via www.statueoflibertyferry.com, which will allow you to board the boat without standing in the sometimes-long ticket line; however, there is an additional service charge attached. Even if you've already purchased tickets, arrive as much as 30 minutes before your desired ferry time to allow for increased security procedures prior to boarding the ferry. The ferry ride takes about 20 minutes.Once on Liberty Island, you'll start to get an idea of the statue's immensity: She weighs 225 tons and measures 152 feet from foot to flame. Her nose alone is 4 1/2 feet long, and her index finger is 8 feet long.Note: At press time, access to the great Lady's interior was prohibited due to security concerns. There have been efforts to reverse that policy, but those efforts have stalled and most likely will not be reversed during the life of this book. Still, the close-up view from the grounds alone is breathtaking enough to make the journey worthwhile.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Newark area, including:

Mayfair Hotel
Be prepared -- the rooms here are tiny. The elevator is, too. That's it for the bad news. Now the good: The Mayfair is one of the Theater District's friendliest and best-kept budget hotels, and the location couldn't be better. Each room boasts a smallish but nice black-and-white tile bathroom (all but a few singles have tub/shower combos) and unstylish but perfectly nice decor. The wood-paneled lobby is more elegant than most in this price range; just off it is the cute French bistro Le Garrick, an attraction in its own right. A super-nice staff is merely the icing on the cake. Don't be frightened off by the rack-rate range; while prices can soar in peak seasons, rates generally stay well below $200 (which they should -- if you're quoted more, stay elsewhere).

Le Marquis
This Murray Hill boutique property is a marvel. There is a comfortable yet distinctively contemporary look throughout the hotel, in both the public and private spaces. The gorgeous lobby, with its warm cherry woods and sexy blue-glass light fixtures, is breathtaking. In the back is a wonderful living room-style lounge that you're meant to really enjoy -- it boasts a 40-inch flat-screen TV, books, board games, and sofas you can sink into.The guest rooms are not the biggest in town, but the available space is beautifully filled with custom furnishings that include armoires and efficiently sized work desks. The predominant color is a deep, warm Americana blue, with geometric patterns -- squares on the carpet, stripes in the window treatments -- adding a welcome dash of boldness. A smart and dedicated GM who pays attention to every detail has incorporated such luxurious appointments as platform beds dressed in goose-down and Frette linens; DVD/CD/MP3 players; plush terry robes; and Aveda toiletries. The sparkling white-tiled bathrooms with their beveled blue-tile accents are magnificent. While having bathrooms with showers only is often seen as a liability in a hotel, double-wide stalls and luxurious rain-shower heads make these rooms more desirable than those with standard tub/shower combos (which are available, if you prefer). At press time, a restaurant was in the works.

Excelsior Hotel
The recently renovated, newly elegant Excelsior almost gives the Lucerne a run for its money. Everything is fresh throughout the hotel, from the richly wood-paneled lobby to the supremely comfy guest rooms to the small but state-of-the-art exercise room. The chic residential location is across from the Museum of Natural History and just steps from Central Park. However, the staff doesn't quite live up to the Lucerne's impeccable example.Freshly done in an attractive traditional style, the guest rooms boast high-quality furnishings, commodious closets, two-line phones, thick terry bathrobes, a work desk, free bottled water, and full-length dressing mirrors (a nice touch). The pretty new bathrooms are most impressive. The two-bedded rooms are large enough to accommodate budget-minded families (a few even have two queens), and suites feature pullout sofas and pants presses. The sunny museum-facing rooms are only worth the extra dough if a park view is really important to you, as all rooms are relatively bright and quiet. Housekeeping is impeccable throughout the hotel. On the second floor is a gorgeous library-style lounge with working fireplace, books, games, gorgeous leather seating, writing desks, and a large flat-screen TV with VCR and DVD player. All in all, a good midprice choice.
